COD: Modern Warfare 2 pre-orders will get a week of early campaign access

(Pocket-lint) — Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 arrives in just a couple of short months' time, but it's going to release in a pretty staggered way, if you've pre-ordered it.

The game's having a series of open betas for the multiplayer side of things in September, and it's now been confirmed that digital pre-orders of the game will allow early access to the game's campaign, too.

It also means that Modern Warfare 2 can dominate the newswaves for an extra week as people react to first the story and then its new and returning multiplayer modes.

Also circulating at the moment is a strong rumour that the release date for the new version of Warzone will be 16 November 2022, after an internal Activision release schedule seemingly leaked.

If it's accurate, that'll give us about three weeks to get used to the new feel of MW2 in multiplayer before we drop
